Artist Nickolay Lamm caught our eye last week when his ‘Barbie makeover' images of a Barbie with the proportions of an average 19-year-old girl went viral. It turns out that this isn’t the first Barbie makeover he’s done – in April, Lamm created images of Barbie without makeup.

Lamm created the images as a response to another viral image of a makeup-free Barbie with exaggerated under-eye circles, blemishes, no eyelashes and braces.

“A viral image of Barbie without make-up got me thinking: is this what Barbie would really look like without make-up? Ken is a pretty good looking doll. So, surely Barbie without make-up can’t be too different,” Lamm wrote.“Sure enough, Barbie still looks pretty, even au naturel…”

“The viral image was an exaggeration, which got a lot of people talking. However, it was an exaggerated image which was not based on the real characteristics of the doll," he added.

“The real Barbie without makeup brings up a new point: if Barbie can look good without makeup, why doesn’t Mattel make dolls with a more natural look?”

Lamm also created images of a Bratz doll and Disney princess doll without makeup.
